On February 8, 1960, Hamilton officially became a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

His mainstream breakthrough hit was the 1961 song “Before this Day Ends.” His hit “Abilene” spent four weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s country singles chart and reached the Top 20 of the Hot 100. His song, “Break My Mind,” was another hit for Hamilton in 1967. His 1970 single “She’s a Little Bit Country” found Top 5 success.

In the early 1970s, Hamilton began touring the Soviet Union, Australia, the Middle East and East Asia. These widely-acclaimed international performances earned him the nickname “The International Ambassador of Country Music.”
